a/n okay! so here's the first chapter in my second Naruto series! it will be a romance for the victim of my number two Naruto boy obsession! I have a ton of Naruto obsessions. such awesome characters. I have started at least four out of...many fanfics. now, I hope you enjoy this! this one is, in my opinion, kind of sad. Not as sad as another one I've written but...yeah...
Summary: OCxKiba eventually. It hurt. For a year, my heart hurt me. I ran away. From the village, and from everyone I knew. What was a searching for though? Revenge. For my sister, who was killed by two men. Hurt and angry, I travel, distnat and unable to be healed. But, when I reach my destination, I meet a guy who teaches me that there's so much for to live for, and that wallowing won't do any good. (better than the summary, or so I think)
Song of the Full Moon's Child
Chapter One-Runaway
"What-what are you doing?"
"They wanted the blood of a member of the Tomi clan, didn't they?" "But Reina-onee-chan! It's me they want!" "Shh!" She cast a wary glance about. "Kaiyo, it's my duty as your older sister and a Chuunin Ninja to protect you. If I can't do that, what good am I?" "B-but--" "I've already achieved all the goals I've ever set for myself. If I do this for you, it will be just one more thing I can be happy about. You're so young, and you're still in Ninja school. You have so many goals and you'll have so many opportunities. More than I ever have...Please, Kaiyo dear. Let me do this. For you and for myself." "Make your decision quickly!" A man growled, scarred face half hidden by a mask the same color of the sky. "Onee-chan..."
"Onee-chan..."
"What was that?"
My head snapped up, mint-green hair flying out of my face. Mother was giving me one of those looks again. The kind that said she was concerned about me, like I was going crazy because I was talking to myself. It didn't help that I was saying the name of someone who, according to her, never existed.
She didn't even acknowledge the fact that the one-year anniversary of the event was today.
"Nothing...just...thinking, is all." I stood and walked out of the kitchen; Mom looked over her shoulder at me.
"Where are you going? Kaiyo!"
"Walking..."
It was a cloudy day in the Hidden Village of Moonlight. Dark and gloomy. I sighed; the weather fit my mood perfectly. Not that my mood changed too much anymore.
My feet had minds of their own, leading me where they pleased. It was a place I usually avoided, ever since something so horrible happened. Before the 'incident' it was my favorite spot, a place I would play hide-and-seek and tag as a child, and then just think once I got older.
The fat wooden pole was still there, located right by the pond where the sun or moon always shone, reflection bouncing off the water and making a bright light of its own. It was all located on a small hill a bit away from the village civilization, but still within the boundaries.
"What?! No we haven't!"
"Well hurry it up or I'll slaughter the both of you! That's what I should be doing anyway! But I'm being kind and giving you the choice!" The scar faced man growled menacingly; his partner sneered.
"Onee-chan...why don't you fight them back? You're a Chuunin! And I can help, even though I'm not even a Genin yet..."
The two men laughed. The older man's was deep and came from his gut; it didn't seem cruel--it sounded like Santa, but it was. The younger, blue-haired man's laugh, however, was cold and airy that sent chills up the spine. I shivered at the sound of it.
"I still do...just thinking about it..." I said to myself, rubbing my bare arms until the goose bumps went away.
If I looked closely at the calm waters, I could still see the red blood. I knew it was my imagination, still lost in the terror, but it looked so real.
In the shadows I could almost see the pot-bellied, scar faced man, a blood thirsty look in his eyes; his companion licked the blade of a knife
"No..."
"Sir! The decision has been made!" she shouted over my voice. "I will be the sacrifice. Tomi Reina is my name, the heir to the Tomi clan, a Chuunin. I'm sure that's a better offer than some Ninja school attendee who no secrets can be revealed from once the inspections of the body are done..."
"Inspections? Secrets? Onee-chan, what are you talking about?"
The two men grinned wicked grins. "Yes, it most certainly is."
"Just give me one last moment with my sister, please. Very private manner..." Reina came to me, her back to the two men, and made some hand seals.
"Kaiyo, this will protect my body from any secrets being made," she whispered so lowly it would be impossible for anyone to hear. "I want you to run away, okay? Run as far as you can, as fast as your scrawny legs can carry you. Understand?"
A dark look entered her eyes; whimpering, I nodded. I found that I couldn't lift my legs though...
The same lead feeling was still there, had been ever since. It was something that couldn't be shaken off. I wanted to run away, as far as I could go. I wanted to be carried off to some distant land where memories wouldn't erupt as often, where I could get rid of the horrible feeling growing in the pit of my stomach.
"I want to leave this place...I can't take it any more," I said, voice shaking violently. I fell to the ground, holding my head in my hands.
Reina-onee-chan...the most precious person to me...
Why did you do this to me?
She said it was for me, and for herself. But what was she talking about? Did she want to die? Why did she wish to protect me so much? She already achieved all her goals?
How could she have so little to live for, when she was so kind? Everyone in town loved her...Everyone but Mommy and Daddy...
"Onee-chan..." I whispered, rubbing my stinging eyes with balled fists.
"Mom and Dad probably want me home...I should get going..."I told myself, first getting to my knees then pushing myself up all the way.
How come they didn't love her?
"Kaiyo! Good you're back already! If you wouldn't mind helping me prepare dinner?"
Well speak of the devil... I put on a fake smile and nodded. "Of course, Mother. That would not be a problem. But is it already that late?"
Hooking her arm through mine, Mom laughed. "Oh, dear, no! But I'm preparing a huge feast for tonight! There's nothing better than a feast to bring up the spirits on such a cloudy day as this!"
"Oh, yes! Of course...You're absolutely right..."
I was lying through my teeth. Nothing could make this day joyous, not for me. But I wouldn't say that to Mom. She'd start screaming at the mention of Reina's name, an experience I had encountered many times. It was loud enough to make your ears bleed, and angry enough to make you cry.
A feast, huh? She really doesn't care what day it is...does she?
The feeling became overwhelming, really. After dinner, many hours later, I packed a small bag and went back to the place where the scene occurred.
"Heh. Go ahead. But if that doesn't kill you quickly, we'll take care of the rest."
"So long as I get to use my own weapon first, I suppose that is fine."
Out of the sheath she pulled her thin sword with golden wings on the handle, a diamond between the two. She stepped into the pond, a favorite place of hers, and lifted the sword high so that the harvest moon's bright light glinted on the blade.
Her head was slightly turned so that she could see me. I knew she didn't want this to be viewed by me, but terror kept my feet where they were.
The sword came down, right through her arm. The blood flew, staining her skin and clothes. Her bangs hung in her green eyes as she watched the look of horror on my face; she frowned.
"I did this for you, Kaiyo. So that you can live on with your dreams."
I gripped at my dark grey clothes, fist trembling. "Don't worry, Onee-chan. I don't care if you willingly died...you will be avenged," I said in a deadly whisper.
And with that, I ran off into the night, my legs finally feeling less like lead and more like air, so that I could live up to my promise.
"I'm finally running away," I whispered. The words did wonders for me, bringing tears of joy rather than the usual tears of bitterness. "I'm leaving the Hidden Village of Moonlight...for good..."
